Modern Day Pin-up Girls - WEEK 1 (New Group)

By the way what is the elliptical? And do you know where I can get any of the dvds you all mention - 30 day shred etc? Maybe an online website or a company that ships? Ta x

Namita me too!!!! I want to know what the Elliptical is...... and I also want to know how I may get my hands on these amazing vids everyone talks about.......

( I am currently doing a law degree and a bus degree here in Australia!!!! how awsome you are a lawyer! you are such an inspiration)

Here's a picture of an elliptical: http://bowflexhomefitness.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/12/elliptical-machines43.jpg
And here's the Bowflex site: http://bowflexhomefitness.com/get-to-know-elliptical-machines/
It's kind of like a treadmill, but eaiser on your joints.

Oh yes...... We call it a Cross Trainner here in Australia

My three goals for the week:
- Walk the dog every day - no dog parks!!
- No meat (My husband is out of town and I want to see how it feels to be a vegetarian!)
- Nothing but water to drink, with the exception of my gross Grapefruit juice

I'm in. Start weight 232

Oops, just realised I typed my start weight in wrong... it was supposed to be 140.4, not 140.04. Sorry!

I just started a new league on Introplay.com.


Hope you guys join!! :flowerforyou:

♥♥♥ I did it..... I am "LaChanchita FattyPants’s" on intro play....now what....how do I find you guys.... I looked and I cant find your team wah wah boo hoo.

I had a hard time finding it too. You have to look almost to the bottom of your page after you log in and you will see where it says open leagues and it will have pin-up girls underneath that and you click JOIN.

I just started a new league on Introplay.com.

You guys are going to love me this weekend lol. I think I'll have about 25 hours of dancing this weekend. I'll probably log that as 17 actual dancing hours though This sounds like fun, we should get other MFP groups to do it!

I'm in a cruddy mood today.

Awe up :flowerforyou: Your group is a GREAT success! Thank you for setting it up!

Good morning!

I just wanted to check in :flowerforyou:

I actually felt accountable yesterday. I am usually pretty good about tracking and everything, but yesterday I was DILIGENT about the three goals I set for myself. I went to sleep feeling like I stayed on top of everything and not like I slacked off like I sometimes do. I have joined challenges before and literally forgotten them as quickly as I joined, I also have not seen any weight loss for months. Now is time for change! Thanks Pin-ups!

I have a new goal: Eat most of my calories early in the day so I'm not making bad choices at the end.

Also, INSANITY is arriving today! I'm very excited and very scared.

I just started a new league on Introplay.com.

I have just signed up as well! I am having a day off from exercise today but I will definately be logging my exercise tomorrow!

Also, INSANITY is arriving today! I'm very excited and very scared.

You are going to LOVE Insanity even though it;s the toughest workout program!!

Everyone must own this program because you see results within days!

Just amazing!!

I LOVE Shaun T!

I can't wait until Insanity 2 (Asylum) comes out...Next Fall!!!!

I'm in a cruddy mood too!!
I made a nice dinner for my boyfriend & ran around tidying before he got home, expecting for him to get home early, just like he said, but instead he went out for a drink with his friend and didn't bother to tell me.
Giving him some major silent treatment at the moment...
On the plus side, I did good portion control and am planning on getting an early night!

Hope you all had a great day and met all your goals

ugh! don't you hate that?! men....:grumble:

Hi all! I was stoked to find such a killer group of supportive ladies here and would be thrilled to join you if you'll take me.....pretty please with a cherry on top!?! :flowerforyou:

Starting weight: 146

What our goals are?
What we are doing to achieve our goals?
What is your downfall - go to food (s)?
Share something personal about yoursefl?

About me....

1) My two primary goals are to...a) feel confident in a bathing suit (I was there once, but can't even recall what it felt like anymore).....and b) be able to go on long hikes with my hubby and friends without being the 'dead weight' of the group (hence the profile pic of me after a hike that nearly killed me---MOTIVATION!.) I think I'd like to get down to around 120-125 lbs, but feeling healthy and confident is much more important to me than seeing any particular number on the scale.

2) Right now I'm trying to burn off about 750 Calories a day (except Sundays, when I allow myself an 1800 Cal day of whatever it is I've been dying for all week). I usually shoot for consuming 1300-1400 Cals Mon-Sat and a one-hour walk. I'd like to start doing some strength training and get back into yoga, but for some reason I just haven't been able to find the motivation to move any faster than a walk yet.

3) My downfalls are BAKED GOODS....mmmmm.....I'm salivating just thinking of those sweet fluffy old "friends" of mine. I LOVE to bake. My grandma got me started helping her roll breadsticks and measure sugar as soon as I crawled out of the cradle, so for me baking is nostalgic and food is love. I can never totally part with my pastries, but I'd like to get to a point where I can eat ONE and feel satisfied, rather than gobbling the entire batch and still wanting more. We can dream, right?

4) About me....I'm a newlywed (sorta...soon to be 2 years) and live with my husband in Quito, Ecuador. Believe it or not, I'm still adjusting to the role of wifey and recently realized that I was losing myself in our relationship. We were becoming one of those joined at the hip couples, and I was beginning to realize that there was no more "me" in my mind, just "us," and that is definitely not healthy. Soooo, long story short, I've decided to spend more time taking care of ME, and this is one big part of it!

I know you all are going to be an amazing support group, so thanks in advance for being so awesome! :happy:

Hey all my lovely gorgeous pin up ladies,

So I'm in a much better mood today than I was last night. My boyfriend, to be fair to him, felt like a complete jerk and couldn't stop apologising last night (he cycles everywhere and so when I can't get hold of him on the phone my first thought is that he's under a truck somewhere...). He got some major silent treatment and I very nearly threw his dinner in the bin (ha - do you get the idea I don't stand for people treating me crappy?!)

Anyhoo, today is a whole new day. I am working all day today, which means a lot of hours on my feet in the kitchen. I have 3 extra private cake orders on top of my normal weekend orders, so lots to do! It's actually turning out to be a pretty nice day in London today so I might take some time out in a little bit and go for a walk to the shops to get some lunch. Maybe sushi.
Exercise today isn't really gonna happen (apart from the walk). My foot is really aching from my long run on Wed night. I've upped my mileage pretty quickly and with the 10Km race coming up on Sunday I don't wanna push it into being a stress fracture or other injury.
(By the way I am a TERRIBLE patient - I used to treat so many people with the same injuries that I have/had but I just can't take a dose of my own medicine!....bad physio...!)

Oooh I also joined the league!

Ok enough rambling

Have a fabulous Friday

xx
